----------------------------------
Summary: Default ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm should be
https
Key: KAFKA-3665
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3665
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: security
Affects Versions: 0.9.0.1
Reporter: Ismael Juma
Assignee: Ismael Juma
Fix For: 0.10.0.0
The default `ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm` is `null` which is not a
secure default (man in the middle attacks are possible).
We should probably use `https` instead.
